I have been buying ASICS for years. Always a good quality shoe and good fit. I buy EE wide. They are one of the few companies that has a good range of shoes in that size that fit well.
My only suggestion is improving on color combos...but why complain.

I liked the look of these and being a 4E width, the shoes had enough space. But after walking in them, found the middle wasn't wide enough and then started hurting my feet and legs. Unfortunately, I'm unable to return them since I wore them. So I have an expensive paper weight

Dealing with a heel injury, was told problem might be overpronation. Shoes were well cushioned...but the fit was not just right for me. Shoe would be more attractive if the shoe lace holes were not white, but rather black...IMO.

It took maybe one-two times of wearing before I got used to these shoes. They fit like a glove. The gel cushion and the arch support greatly reduced the stress on my knees when I ran on the treadmill.

Nice looking shoe, but just not wide enough for me in the 3E selection.

The Kayano work better than any others to support my flat feet on cement floors all day. The new version seem a little wide but the cushion is still very good.

Great shoes for running. But one shoelace snapped in the first week I had them. Never had that happen before.

This is one of the few shoes that helps with my Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis since I have wide feet and lower arches. The cushion is great but the traditional higher heel drop works great for my foot. Most popular shoes use lower heel drops now and my heel and Achilles needs a higher heel drop some days. Also the toe box on these is good for me but it could be wider at the toe box.

Good fit. I just want more color options for size 13, mainly for reds and dark blues (navy).

I was extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this shoe. My previous pair of ASICS GEL-KAYANO 25's lasted 6 years no problems. This pair of shoes broke during my first long distance run. The thin plastic part that helps form the sides of the toe broke and now buckles inward poking my toe every step. Shoes can't be returned as they are not in their original condition.

Ive been wearing the Gel Kayano brand for over 10 years. Always been top notch. This latest edition isnt up to par though. I wear the shoes about 3 times a week and I've had them for a couple weeks. Rubber on the bottom is already peeling on the sides. Not impressed with this edition.
If this is your first Kayano, dont judge it too harshly. Like I said, previous versions have all been top tier.

I have worn Gel-Kayano shoes for almost 15 years and they have always held up well. The Gel-Kayano 31 has been the worst pair of shoes I've had, which I bought the week of Chrismas 2024. They squeaked on any hard floor from day 1, which I figured would go away with wear, but they still squeak in both shoes with every single step. Pieces of the rubber in the sole have been peeling away since the first 3 weeks of wear. The sole is literally coming apart with 2 months of use (I'm not a runner. I only walk in them at a hospital.) I get comments all day long about the noise from my shoes. Today, I almost tripped on carpet because one of the rubber pieces folded under as I stepped. That caused me to go ahead and leave a review for the shoes. Very disappointing. The heel of the shoe is so much more comfortable than the previous model, but the sole and grips are literally falling off.

The shoe fits great especially in the wide variety. I really enjoyed the extra cushioning when I was running. Def recommend.

After only 4 months of light use my Gel-Kayano 31 are damage. They are very comfortable even more than past models, but they materials are not good enough for this price shoes.

Stable shoe. Ran the Sustin marathon. Strong steady shoe. Running shoes should be fresh and newer if you are running over 15 miles

I have purchased several different brands of sneaker looking the one that would give my fallen arches/flat feet the support necessary to be able to walk long distances comfortably. Finally, I have found my perfect shoe. This Gel-Kayano 31 is the best shoe I've ever worn. I will be purchasing more.
